Marcus Grönholm & the new Peugeot 206 WRC in action - Mänttä 200 Rally 1999 in Finland

Rare action & incar footage onboard of Finland´s rising rally star Marcus Grönholm giving the all-new Peugeot 206 WRC its maiden win in the Mänttä 200 Rally in Finland ahead of the WRC Rally Finland 1999. Back in the days various teams and factory team drivers used the Mänttä 200 Rally as a test event for the upcoming 1000 Lakes/Rally Finland later in the summer - and in addition to Marcus the 1999 line-up included Carlos Sainz with his Toyota Celica as well as Armin Schwarz with his Skoda Octavia.
(That camera angle pointing backwards was propably shot in a test session since there´s no start number on the side of the car)

Marcus, unbeatable in Finland. Absolute LEGEND in my book

[@calbackk]

Very clean, efficient, and FAST driving by Marcus. Looking at this you understand why he was so successful around this time. Bra jobbat Marcus.

[@shaft3r1]

One of the best combinations of driver&car.

[@amopastorcanadense]

Marcus WON 2000 and 2002 WRC with Peugeot 206 WRC.

[@Menolifee]

awful shame peugeots next project didnt live up to the expectations the 206 set
marcus had potential for more than 2 for sure. the 2 wasted 307 years definitely didnt help. he came really close later with ford.

[@valko022]

@@Menolifee The 207 was also not good if even worse, than the 307?? ; /

i know Im randomly asking but does someone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the password. I appreciate any tips you can give me

[@tylerkieran1521]

@Augustus Mark thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@tylerkieran1521]

@Augustus Mark it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account :D

Weird seeing the early version of the 206 WRC without the shifter on the steering wheel. The steering wheel of the later 206 WRC versions is iconic.

[@LeafFerret]

Whenever privateers get the 206s, they revert back to the sequential gear shift, think there's more maintenance with the paddle shifts.

[@LevisL95]

[@pricklypear300]

this video left me wonder not how Marcus is a great driver but how the hell do Finns live with having to pronounce that "rrrrrrrr" bit in their daily conversations.

[@ouzts12]

atta boy

[@johnygrasa]

I would need like a case of depends to make it through a ride like that. I almost soiled myself just watching. =|

[@c2points]

Marcus Gronholm....no comment,just look

[@rallyivan1234]

The same engine of 205 T16 :)

[@darthphotek]

No, it has a completely different engine.

? Yes, the engine block is the same. But that's it, nothing else. The rest are "successor" parts (upgraded). The 206 has less hp, but more torque, while the T16 is the other way around. You can't say that it has the same engine because it uses the same block.. that's like saying all V8 engines are the same because they have 8 cylinders. :/

[@rallyivan1234]

DarthPhotek
I know my friend, is the block and the cylinder head but that does not change the components, but no less fascinating.
Is the XU8T!!!

[@darthphotek]

You have a point I guess...

[@alexandrej.paixao1756]

who is the browser copilot

[@LevisL95]

+Alexandre J. Paixão The co-driver is Timo Rautiainen.

[@alexandrej.paixao1756]

+Lauri Levälehto I thought it Timo Jakkola

[@LevisL95]

+Alexandre J. Paixão I googled a bit and it seems that Jaakkola has been Grönholms co-driver some time also. But in this video it definately is Rautiainen as you can hear the name at 8:13 and even barely see it in the car window.

[@jagthanz]

ou 6:52 scene best :D What Marcus is saying?

[@purjososekeitto]

He notices carlos sainz's car in the bushes. Says "paskana" which can be nicely translated as totaled. :D

[@jagthanz]

Thanks :D and what does it mean "kirra" and "eri"?

[@purjososekeitto]

"kirraa" means that the turn is tightening towards the end. "eri" means basically that the turn is a medium turn.

[@jagthanz]

Ok, I understand it, thanks for translate ;) Im Czech, but Marcus is my one of the most favourite pilots :)

[@slowbeats3560]

6:54 just sayin hi

[@apocalypse94]
